Conely questioned if this is an A or B water system. Katie explained this doesn't have to do with a system, but instead surface water. Bill Allen recommended not adopting the plan because the closure will drastically impact the shellfish business, and said that a database should be created to track all with septic systems. He suggested the creation of an advisory board to assist with a final product. He did praise what has been done but noted that the plan is not finished. Cmmr. Drexler asked Bill what else he would like to see implemented in regards to failing septics. Katie added that if there is a failing septic, the house is posted for non occupancy unless clear actions have been taken to resolve the issue. In regards to the agricultural land use, Bill said there is a history of non-conforming use which is causing contamination in Annas Bay. Scott Grout voiced concern about the lack of database for septic systems within MC Environmental Health. He said that there is no follow-up by Environmental Health once a notice is sent out, and no compliance requirements. He said he was told by the Director that there aren't resources to create this database. Scott stated this response plan proposal is a job killer. Cmmr. Drexler questioned if there was any outreach to shellfish growers. Katie said she invited growers to be a part of the stakeholder group and received only one response after sending the draft after every revision. Cmmr. Neatherlin noted that this plan is an improvement over what was previously in place because it requires constant water testing instead of testing only when issues arrive. BOARD OF MASON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS' PROCEEDINGS October 2, 2018 - PAGE 3 In regards to agricultural lands, he noted that taking that ability to use the land for livestock is a huge request. He did like the idea of a stakeholder group. Cmmr. Shutty thanked Scott and Bill for attending, noting the flooding on the Skokomish is being addressed. He said though it's not perfect, this is a very good plan and more long term solutions should be addressed still. Cmmr. Drexler spoke about her past attempts to implement a septic fee to no avail. She said if shellfish truly is an important piece of the County, a septic fee should be implemented to sustain a water quality program, which would allow the creation of the suggested database. She suggested adoption of the current plan with amendments in the future. Cmmr. Shutty said there is a lot of merit in what was brought forward, but noted it needs to be discussed in further detail to find a solution. Conely Watson asked if this ties in with the Orcas and rivers. Katie said it does not. Cmmr. Shutty/Drexler moved and seconded to approve item 8.4 Approval off the 2018 Annas Bay Closure Response Plan relating to water quality reclassification. All in favor. 9.
